Teaching Science Fact with Science Fiction

"In the era of Asia s rise, this timely collection inquires into the various connections between soft power and public diplomacy. It offers a treasure trove of rich empirical data and incisive analysis that is indispensible for a full understanding of this vitally important subject." - Peter J. Katzenstein, Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor of International Studies, Cornell University

"When Hu Jintao exhorted China to increase its soft power, he triggered wide interest at home and among China's neighbors. This book is a welcome exploration of what it takes to develop soft power in East Asia. The authors make important conceptual and empirical advances. Chinese and other leaders should read it!" - Joseph S. Nye, Jr., University Distinguished Service Professor, Harvard, and author of The Future of Power

From the reviews:“As Arnold’s own 1971 contribution altered the direction of research on this question, this book constitutes a summary of the story coming directly from the master. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty.” (D. V. Feldman, Choice, Vol. 51 (6), February, 2014)“This book is a translation of lecture notes from Russian with additional comments and notes by the editors. The book is aimed at advanced high school students … . It introduces very advanced topics in a very relaxed and informal style. The book includes some exposition and definitions, some theorems and proofs and a lot of problems with hints or solutions. There are many illustrations to lead the reader to an intuitive understanding of the concepts being developed.” (Thomas C. Craven, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2013)“It was designed as a set of lecture notes addressed to mathematically talented high-school students, with the main focus on a panoramic view toward elementary, problems concerning geometric objects that can be described by (mostly real) algebraic equations. … this is a highly unusual book on real algebraic curves and various related topics. … a truly irresistible invitation to mathematics in general.” (Werner Kleinert, zbMATH, Vol. 1268, 2013)

"Some aspects of the report may resonate even more loudly today than they did in the late 1960s. For example, the commission’s repeated emphasis on the role of police brutality in alienating black citizens and sowing the seeds of urban discontent now assumes added significance, given the many images of unarmed black men whose deaths at the hands of the state have been seared into the national psyche. Indeed, some of the report’s assessments could—eerily and depressingly—have been written yesterday to describe America’s recent racial disturbances, in locales ranging from Ferguson, Missouri, to Baltimore, Maryland: 'Almost invariably the incident that ignites disorder arises from police action.'"---Justin Driver, The Atlantic

The Kerner Report

"What really happened at that mountain in the wilderness? ... Consider the implications, for instance, if Moses simply concocted the whole thing or if those words on the tablets are literally God's words. Are these two options mutually exclusive?"—Lawrence Kushner"By too easily claiming and naming God, by encouraging others to do the same, did I take the name of the Lord in vain?"—Nancy Fuchs-Kreimer“Real idolatry today is the worship of money, technology, addictions, absolute political systems—even of 'Judaism' and of the personal ego.”—Zalman M. Schachter-Shalomi (z"l)“According to the Talmud, the first question that we will be asked in the World to Come is 'Were you honest in your world?’ The question challenges us on many different levels. Were you honest in your dealings with other people, in your public life, in your private life, with your family, with your friends? And it also pushes us to ask an even harder question: Were you honest with yourself?”—Laura Geller
